Rare Unmarked Folding Pocket Pistol / Prototype .22 LR Single Shot – Brass & Steel Construction

Very unusual and seldom-seen folding pocket pistol chambered for .22 Long Rifle. This compact firearm features a unique folding design that conceals the firing mechanism within a rectangular steel and brass housing, allowing it to be carried discreetly in a pocket or vest.

The pistol appears to be entirely unmarked with no visible manufacturer markings, patent dates, or serial numbers. Construction consists of a steel frame with brass side plates and a manually operated folding mechanism. The unusual design and lack of markings suggest either a prototype, experimental firearm, custom-made piece, or very limited-production pocket pistol from the late 19th to early 20th century.

When folded, the firearm resembles a small mechanical instrument rather than a conventional handgun. The brass side plates, exposed trigger, and compact dimensions make it an intriguing collector’s piece that would fit well in collections specializing in oddball firearms, prototype arms, concealed weapons, or early pocket pistols.
